You.
MiddleMe is about you and the 9 hours you spend on your job each day.
More than often, I hear folks lamenting about what they do and their problems at work. I would drop little tips on how they can improve their current situations, nothing much, just my two cents worth. Then I started getting more and more friends, then colleagues approaching me for career advices. Even when I left a company, I still get calls or text from my ex-colleagues seeking a different outlook from theirs. Right up to today, I have ex-colleagues from 4 companies ago still approaching me for career advice. And I’m thinking… Hmm, I must have been doing something right.
I tried googling for a website or a blog that dishes out sound career advices to folks. All I have come across are either very factual statistics articles or blogs written by the Westerners for the Westerners in a Western context. I’m surprise that I could not find something that speaks to a layman like you and me in an Asian society. We are culturally different from the Western context and although everyone has read or heard about advices like “Sky is the limit” or “Be passionate”, it is easier said than done. Everyone is telling us to take the next step but many of us don’t even know what and where is the next step.
I like to help.
MiddleMe is about collaborating all those advices I have given to everyone and hope that it may help you too. Even if you do not have a problem, this website will inspire and enrich you.
MiddleMe is also about helping you to make smart career moves and decisions.
MiddleMe is a platform for sharing. I will be sharing mine and many others experiences and what actions have we taken to get ourselves unstuck in a situation.
Let’s make the 40 hours you spend each week on your desk worth it.
I’ve nominated you for the Dedicated Blogger Award. Go to my site for more information.

Excellent mantra Kally, like the sentiments. We all spend so much time at work that we should be able to enjoy it. As someone much older than yourself I find the barriers being pout up in trying to change careers ridiculous and yet the press and ministers keep saying that we will all have to have multiple careers. Ugh…HVD❤️

Keep pushing on and motivate yourself. There are always barriers and obstacles, we all need to take it in our strides and see what we can do to get the most and the best out of difficult situations. I find it really a waste of time and life if one spends so much time on their job that they hate.

Hey, thanks for sharing. I love the fact there are people like you who want to help the others to get out from their comfort zone and see that besides work, there is LIFE also. I used to be in that zone too, but one day I’ve just told myself to STOP and LIVE. I’ve changed the work first, then I moved, started to travel more and I feel happy now. Maybe it will sound like an advert but there’s a really nice and helpful product that my friends launched – it’s called Boost Camp Bali and it might be the first huge step to change somebody’s life, especially when is stuck in the office. It’s like reloading the pills, session with couches, pure nature, healthy and delicious diet, travelling (it’s happening in Bali as the name suggests), meditation – all those things our bodies and mind need. I’m proud I can be a part of something like that and spread the positivity in the world :-).
